Appalachicola

Appalachicola, a river of the United States, rising in Georgia, and flowing through Florida into a bay of the same name, in the Gulf of Mexico. Reckoning from its remotest sources, the headwaters of the Chattahoochee, the Appalachicola is about 400 miles long, being navigable for boats throughout nearly its entire course, and for steam-boats up to the junction of the Chattahoochee with the Flint, when the name of Appalachicola is applied to the stream, a stretch of about 70 miles.—APPALACHICOLA is also a seaport at the mouth of the stream above mentioned. Here is shipped the produce of the river-basin, consisting chiefly of large quantities of cotton.
